There was a S150/S180 that had the same layout as your 2nd pic that was discussed here, but that had significantly different hardware and the ROMs Hal9K (and subsequently myself) worked on aren't compatible with those.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

That was exactly what mine was doing, fine for phonecalls but nothing with android apps. I think the mic sensitivity is different for android vs the BT phonecalls that run separate from the android part of the device. Who is the manufacturer of the external mic you used? Maybe one of better quality would help.

It's been replaced by a newer version with support for steering wheel controls for all android apps.

damn and I swear I searched this thread for like an hour before posting.. oh well... thanks!!
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Interesting. I know there is a separate S150 thread but don't know if they ever got around to how to identify it from any of the other units.

Btw, does that mean the ROMs for the Ouku will work for the AN-21?
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I don't think they will be, the S150 was more similar to the Ouku than the AN-21 is and the ROMs aren't compatible with the S150. Though I think a lot of the system apks are identical, it is just the hardware specific parts that are different.

They branched out to a separate thread when it started to get too confusing, since this one was originally started for the Ouku unit and since they require different firmware it could lead to problems.

I think originally the S150 had the one large volume knob on the left while the Ouku had 2 smaller ones on either side, problem is now with all the newer 4.1 units coming out that they have started to mix and match the face plates so that is no way to be sure.
[Android Head-Units] Prdie:
Yep, I'm in contact with the seller (alexcardvd) and they advised first to open the unit and try to reattach panel cables. I'll try that tomorrow. Return is of course an option, but I don't want to spend amounts of money on my mechanic just for the fact, the product is not so well built. We'll see. Regarding the volume, your description is probably right, but I've tried to ask anyway ;)

It's this unit, I've posted in first post : http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-2-Inch-An...Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item1e856c9958

It's standard OUKU 2.3.7, but with less buttons than others. Not too many to remap ;)

I've got canbus SWC (with adapter), we will try to make it work tomorrow. It would help a lot, it's unsafe to try to find vol buttons (since there's no knob) during the driving anyway.

My unit will probably be delivered on monday, and I have a question or 2 for someone who already has one of these.

In google play music can you select cache music to external sd? I tried this on my backflip which is running cm7 and the option was not there so I am assuming that it is not available for android 2.3.

What launchers are you guys using? It has been a couple of years since I was running such an ancient os and all of the launchers I use don't support 2.3.

Is anyone working on a custom rom? I wanted to get a 4.1 unit but this unit ended up costing me $82 and I did not think that the upgraded model was worth an extra $240.

I am playing with my backflip now to see what apps are available for 2.3 but installing an app on the backflip takes about 20 minutes so it may take me all of tomorrow to try out launchers. Thank you in advance for any input.
[Android Head-Units] Prdie:
Go to Settings application, General menu and and there's an option to choose default navigation program (or better the installed program that is launched upon the press of Navi button/default icon).

[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
How are you going to adjust your mirrors then, if you just push on electric mirrors it will destroy the insides. Rather good idea if you could find a set in the junkyard and find a good spot to install them, but at that point you could probably find a set of steering wheel controls and put them in the center console.

Mines got a 3 way switch to control which mirror u adjust. The middle doesn't adjust either one. It's neutral

Sent from my Viper One like a boss!
[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
I do believe that the wince units are a mishmash of things and it is hard to tell what controls what. From what I have read of wince is that the ui is not changeable, and android is more of a virtual machine on them, or an app in itself. Not many people here will have an easy time answering you seeing as everyone here has the pure android 2.3 units, probably better off with a google search.

The neutral part is probably just a dead spot on the switch to make it inoperable, sort of like an on/off/on switch except it is like left/off/right. So in that sense you would probably be out of luck.

[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
I get my unit tomorrow, so I did not know there was an included remote. I am still big on tinkering and putting things where they don't belong, like my other project a Chevy LS v8 in a porsche 928, so it may still happen.
[Android Head-Units] chaotix000:
The remote....hmm some Velcro and a spot to stick it ought to do it. Also did anyone's come with the backup cam? The 2.3.4 one? I'm still waiting for mine but wanted to know if it was included or not.

I have this same problem, the solution for me is to open the music app (rather than the radio app) and pause the music then press home and open pandora.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I am absolutely partial to the idea of a mirror control button. I have a plan to do that as well, especially if face buttons can't be used in the AN21.

the beauty of a mirror control stick is that it gives you 8 controls in one small spot and really intuitive and easy to use without looking at it while you drive, unlike the remote control.

Connecting it if you can map the SWC to android functions (like you guys can now with the OUKU) would be fairly easy. Just different value resistors for each wire between ground and one of the two swc wires. I'm hoping we can figure out the same for the AN-2, if not, that would be another function the IOIO could handle...

DVR

Hey, i have one question to you.

Are all those DVRs that are available for our units working on their own or thery are working as normal Camera for Android and we can use program like Blackbox Autoguard to record?
[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
With eBay's and PayPal's buyer protection I didn't think people still tried to scam people on eBay. I figured it was either a used unit, a blem, or it "fell off a truck" but it was just an unsuccessful scam. He sent me a packet with something that looked very creepy in it, so I was refunded my money through PayPal and bought the 4.1 unit. So I guess I'll have to read another 130 pages or so on one of these head units.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I thought that might have been the case. I mentioned earlier in this thread about a similar situation that ended up being a hoax.

The auction got pulled as everyone whom replied to my post said it would. It just goes to show if the deal seem too good to be true, it probably is.

Hello guys,

I have been reading on getting the torque to work, and getting a new dedicated bluetooth dongle for other purposes I am already rooted on th resistive bluetooth torque image.

Making sure I've got this down

I will need a

USB hub

A bluetooth adapter

What do you mean OUKU can map steering wheel buttons for android apps ?

I have my steering wheel controls working on my OUKU thru the aswc-1 adapter but only works for native apps.

Wiki page

I started a revamp of the wiki pages...

As a first step I am separating units and giving each their own page linked from the generic android page. The OUKU now has it's own wiki page, I'll move the rest next.

I plan to leave maybe some howto's and tips that apply to all unit in the original page, with details, hardware compatibility, rooting instructions etc in each device's page. Later if needed we can create subpages for each...

Help is MORE than welcome.

ex-lurker

Hi guys!

I have been carefully stalking these forums and absorbing the knowledge!

I know nothing of Android, but I am slowly learning!

According to the WIKI page I have TH8581GA.

I want to run torque and I ordered a BT OBD2 scanner the ELM327 mdoel that the wiki refers to as the compatible one. (still waiting for it)

In my haste and stupidity I used the "Resistive USB OBDII SW Controls.zip" from post 2240 instead of the BT one. It went through the process of upgrading firmware and the root works great. However I would like to "reflash" (I guess this is the correct term) to the BT version. Search doesn't give me anything that helps.

If I put the BT version into the root of my sd card it does nothing (which is normal because the version has not changed)

Will the BT version still work with quick bluetooth regardless? What would be the correct procedure?

Please help me!

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Put the files from the BT version on the root of the card (unzipped) power the unit off and restart holding home button and volume knob. The update should start.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
You don't need to reflash, just delete the "carit_version2" file in the /system/etc folder, that is the only difference between the two (BT and USB) versions.

Also ISB is only for Torque Pro, if you use Torque Lite it doesn't make a difference which version of the firmware you use.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Btw, Jake. I noticed after reinstalling Torque Pro on my Asteroid Smart the carit_version2 wasn't necessary and now I can select between USB, Bluetooth WiFi, and the linux devlinks at will. I think Ian may have either gotten rid of its necessity or uses another method for determining compatibility on lower Android devices lower than Honeycomb. Coincidently enough, Torque Pro also shows up in our Asteroid Market which is new for us Parrot users. Might want to experiment with the new version on your units without the file.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Thanks Donald, I will check that out, not sure if I am running the most recent version of TP or not, would be good if it worked since it would eliminate the need for 2 versions.

I did try it and it doesn't work the carit_version2 file is still required.
[Android Head-Units] 0bl1v10us:
Thank you very much guys! :)
[Android Head-Units] farisallil:
I digged more into this thread and found the solution that worked for me: Press the RESET button. It won't delete anything but it will restore your media volume.;)
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Just to be clear since "doesn't work" is a bit vague. The tty options do not show up in the most recent version of Torque Pro for you without the /etc/carit_version2 file with "finland_rds_ru" in it?
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Correct I just get, BT, Wifi or USB, when I select USB I get a pop up saying no compatible USB devices or something similar. If I let it try to connect automatically I get an error message in the status bar saying it cant connect to /dev/tty/usb.... or something similar. Putting the file back and everything works as expected.

7 inch 1din Android 4.04 car DVD rooted from dealer

I'm just throwing out some interesting information regarding these Android car stereos. I have had the Ouku double din rooted car head unit for over a year now in my 370Z.It's been great. I just bought a single din 7 inch android car dvd for my truck because it will not accept a double din. I am very familiar with the double din and was posting threads since the beginning of this XDA Ouku thread. What is very interesting is that the single din unit I just bought came to me already rooted.????? I only discovered this when I installed titanium backup and it asked if I wanted root priveleges and it accepted them. Also, Backup Pro did the same thing. I installed Superuser to see what it did and it said the unit was rooted. I installed a couple root checker apps and they verified the root. I have not played with the unit much since it has only been installed for a week, and I am not an android manipulartor. This is one of the Android 4.04 units. It probably has winCE also but the add didn't say, and I can't tell by looking in the settings because its not obvious. Just wondering if anyone else has ran accross a rooted unit direct from the dealer ? This is the link to the unit I purchased off ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-TOUCHSCRE.../301051846561?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I'm pretty sure most haven't. You might have gotten a returned unit or the creator of the ROM included the /system/xbin/su file. In any case, by the dealers listing "CPU:Cortex A10 1.0GHZ" you actually have an Allwinner A10 SoC which contains a single Cortex A8 processor. There is no such thing as a Cortex A10 processor.

Used to think there wasn't a thread for these head units but I found one last night that there were a few sporadic threads related to it. Probably this thread, "[Q] Android tvbox device", has the most traction. Though you might want to install terminal app, like Terminal Emulator, then check the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo". Just to make sure.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

That's cool. I sent an email to Ian Hawkins to open up a dialog about the possibilities of getting Torque Pro to behave more like it does on the Asteroid Smart than Ca-Fi units on your Android device.
[Android Head-Units] SQueal:
I having been following this thread for a while, (quite a bit to read now) and am very interested in buying one for my car. I did toy with making one with a tablet before these head units started becoming more widely available but ran into all sorts of problems.

The head unit I have come across is this one

http://www.a-sure.com.hk/products/2...avigation-System-Capacitive-screen-710-1.html

After coming across this thread and seeing that a lot of the units out there don't have full bluetooth support, and then don't allow rooting. I have seen on this thread that alot of you have been able to root the ones you have, my question is has anyone else come across this units before, and is it possible to get bluetooth OBDs working on it.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
It is very difficult to identify by those specifications. It is also impossible to identify them from the ascetics since the Chinese manufacturers are mixing up the different faceplates designs for these units. So, it is difficult to know exactly what you're going to get unless unless you can verify the specs with the reseller. The way I've been differentiating the different Chinese Android head units is by the exact processor included.

Freescale i.MX535 (imx53_smd) 1Ghz Cortex A8 Single Core processors are usually found units in the Ouku thread.

Samsung S5PV210 (smdkv210) 1Ghz Cortex A8 Single Core processor are found in the units in the S100/S150 thread.

Allwinner A10 (sun4i) 1Ghz A8 Single Core processor in the TVBOX thread.

Mstar MST786 (cedric) 1.0 to 1.2 Ghz Cortex A9 Dual Core processor are found in the units of the AN-21 thread.

I think that would depend on which unit you get. For example, the "Ouya" units can be paired with some Bluetooth ODB2 adapters. However, the "AN-21 U" can only pair to a specific Landu Bluetooth ODB2 adapter which is usually offered as an option from the reseller. Not sure how it is for the other units.

The problem is where the Bluetooth Radios is located.. There is a MicroController Unit (MCU) which handles many of the low level events, like Bluetooth Pairing. This separation causes incompatibility issues with most 3rd party software because there are no common Android APIs for it. So, the developer will need to resort to manufacturer specific methods as with the Landu ODB2 BT and its B-Scan program.

The most compatible seems to be using a USB ODB2 adapter which offers a more responsive data output than the laggy Bluetooth ODB2 adapters.

Install a Android terminal app, like Terminal Emulator then get the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and "getprop ro.product.device" then reference the post directly above yours. Or, post the output if it is not clear to you.

Post #2240 or check the Wiki.
[Android Head-Units] Furioustylez:
There's no details about rooting in the link you provided, only remapping of test keys.

[Android Head-Units] Furioustylez:
OK I just figured it out. Thanks for the info. Just a quick question. I have the ouku 6.2 version pictured first in that wiki thread. Is it capacitive screen or resistive screen? It doesn't tell me on the radio specs
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
They came with both screens as options, contact the person you bought it from or download a multi-touch test app to see, there is no way for us to tell.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Try touching it with the back of a pen or something non conductive like that, if it responds it's resistive, if it needs you to touch with the finger it's capacitive (short easy way)...

Ouku in honda crv 2013

Hi, I have a stereo Ouku 2.3.7 for honda crv 2013 ....(rooted)

The stereo has can bus and it works properly, but when I put the original video application, the display of the car does not put the option "extension" opposed to music app that works correctly ......

Is there any way to modify the application of video or the android system to display on the screen of the car the option "extension" in the video application?

Hello Jake, I can confirm today, that upgrading MCU from 2.10.9.1-10-1 to 2.11.4 also causes the loose of the sound (previously it was unconfirmed). Which is my cause now. Don't you have a copy of a MCU compatible with older sound module ? I think that it was mentioned before, that 2.11.1 and below are compatible. I can't even find original Hal's rom with included MCU.

Thank you very much for help

[Android Head-Units] SQueal:
donaldta, thanks for your help, I have had another look at head unit on the page that I had linked and it is listed as an i.MX535D 1Ghz Cortex A8 Single Core processor and would be one of the "Ouku" units, and if these are the ones that can be paired with some Bluetooth ODB2 adapters I think I will be giving this one a go.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Might want to double check with someone whom has the unit, like [MENTION=2322651]jakejm79[/MENTION]. I think you may need to get an external bluetooth adapter in order to use a ODB2 BT adapter with it. But if all you're going to do is use Torque with it, then you might as well just get a USB ODB2 adapter instead. A good USB ODB2 adapter can process double amount of the PIDs than a good BT ODB2 adapter can.
[Android Head-Units] Furioustylez:
I installed a Bluetooth settings app but when I try to check the blue tooth options it won't stick. I updated to the latest MCU. I installed root. But I still can't turn on Bluetooth for some reason. I even reset the unit. Everything else works fine.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Which USB Bluetooth adapter did you get?
[Android Head-Units] Furioustylez:
I'm talking about the Bluetooth within the radio itself.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Unfortunately, it is not accessible from Android.
[Android Head-Units] Furioustylez:

[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Use the phone app to pair it. The phone app is the Android control facade for the MCU that facilitates pairing your phone over bluetooth.
